That will be followed up with three days of strike action on September 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

BALPA, says it's members have been left with no choice but to go on strike.

The Union says it's imperative that the issues are resolved urgently to avoid strike action.

IALPA, the union representing Ryanair pilots based in Ireland, is currently balloting its members over the possibility of taking strike action.

The ballot is due to be complete by this Friday.
